February 3, 2016
On February 3, 2016, the Joan Ganz Cooney Center, Rutgers University, and New America co-hosted a forum on digital equity and technology among lower-income families at New America’s headquarters in Washington, D.C. The event featured the release of Opportunity for All?, by Vicky Rideout and Vikki Katz.
